Chapter 48 Something is wrong
When footsteps sounded behind us, my third uncle suddenly shut up!
I thought that my third uncle and I were discovered, and the nerves in my whole body instantly tensed, and I reflexively wanted to see who was behind me, but I tried to hold back, and the people here were all sluggish, if I turned my head to look, I was afraid that it would be exposed immediately.
It's just that the footsteps are behind me, which is a visual blind spot, and I can only be scared, for fear that the other party will suddenly attack me.
Stiffening their necks and looking at the door of the temple, they saw that they leaned out slightly, as if waving their hands at me, they meant that I should not act rashly?
Could it be that the target of the footsteps behind me is not me and the third uncle?
So who will they target?
Just when I was full of doubts, the footsteps behind me actually left where we were and walked away!
After the footsteps were some distance from me, I quickly peeked in, but saw two black shadows holding a person walking towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall. That man was obviously from the village, and even if he was being carried by someone, he could feel that he was moving slowly and sluggishly, like a log and letting them walk without a reaction!
I didn't know what the black shadows were doing with this person, so I instinctively stared at the two black shadows, and saw that they carried the person into the Daxiong Treasure Hall not far away, and then quickly closed the door.
I waited patiently for a long time, and when I saw that the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was closed, and there was no sound inside, I couldn't help but ask my third uncle, "Third uncle, what did they take him for?" ”
Before my third uncle could answer me, a scream suddenly came from the Daxiong Treasure Hall behind me!
The scream was terrible and sharp, instantly tearing the silence of the night, and when we turned our heads to look at it in shock, the scream stopped abruptly, as if someone had broken our necks while screaming!
Then, there was a dead silence all around!
The scream came so suddenly that I felt my mind go blank, the green tendons on my forehead jumped suddenly, and I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to stabilize my mind.
looked around, the people around them were still stunned, screaming at the person who was dragged away just now, they didn't react, they were numb!
Their reaction reminds me of one word - the living dead!
This makes me puzzled, when they appeared in the reservoir at the foot of the mountain just now, they were obviously normal living people, but why after returning to the temple, they were like the living dead in the village, and they didn't have any reaction?
My third uncle spoke, "Fengzi, go back quickly, go to the cellar box and get something, and then come back and give it to me!" ”
"What's that?" I subconsciously asked.
"I can't understand it for a while, but that thing can save the lives of people in the village!" My third uncle quietly looked around, and his tone was very anxious, "You also saw it just now, they will pull away a person like this from time to time, and that person has never come out again, and I don't know what happened." There are only so many people left in our village, and if they continue like this, they will soon die, so hurry up! ”
I was shocked and angry, but I felt that time was pressing, and immediately asked my third uncle, "Third uncle, what about the female corpse, have you seen it later?" ”
My third uncle shook his head, "What happened that night was so tragic that thousands of people in the village were gone, and no one knew whether it was the female corpse who did it, and there was no way to verify it." Later, when the woman in red came, she sent someone to take us to the temple for people to see, and today was the first time she went down the mountain. ”
It seems that the woman in red let them go down the mountain for the purpose of the demon awakening ceremony, and usually keeps them in this temple.
The strange thing is that since the female corpse killed most of the people in the village, why did the woman in red still keep these living mouths? What is the purpose?
I just felt like my mind was a mess, and I couldn't figure anything out for a while.
My third uncle was already urging me to leave quickly, so I hurriedly said: "Third uncle, now except for the woman in red and the female corpse, even if I rescue the people in the temple, I won't be able to get out of the village, I'll go back and find the thing you said first, and then come back depending on the situation...... By the way, you're not coming with me? ”
"I still have something to do here, you leave me alone!" My third uncle pushed me, "Hurry up, they should all come out later, and you won't be able to leave if you want to!" ”
As soon as my third uncle finished saying this, the sound of doors opening the doors sounded in all the halls of the temple, and the doors were so old that they creaked in the dark, but they sounded thrilling to me.
I also wanted to persuade the third uncle to go with me, but my third uncle was in a hurry and pushed me far away!
When I wanted to go back, I heard footsteps in the courtyard of the temple, and I didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ran to the gate of the temple with my waist bent over, hid in the hiding place of the three of them, and looked towards the temple together to see what was going to happen.
As soon as I hid it, I saw dozens of black shadows suddenly pouring out of the courtyard, and they stood with the people in the village one by one, and then began to walk towards the temple in pairs.
To our astonishment, when these black shadows stood one-on-one with the people of the village and walked towards the hall, the two of them were like puppets controlled by the same line, raising their left hand and their left foot together......
We were dumbfounded, and the trendy man scolded in a low voice, ", this is a game to watch!" ”
The cold man remained silent until the people in the temple courtyard were almost gone, and he whispered, "They're devouring souls." ”
"Soul Eater?" Zhang Qianqian and I asked out loud, "Are those dark shadows devouring the souls of the people in the village?" ”
The cold man nodded, "Those black shadows have no soul and body, and they absorb the essence and yang energy of the people in the village, and gradually they have the appearance of their counterparts, and they are almost identical. For example, if you print something, the people in the village are the originals, and the black shadows are the copies, and if the two do not appear at the same time, outsiders will not be able to tell the difference between the originals and the copies. ”
Zhang Qianqian and I looked at each other and said, "I see! ”
No wonder those who appear look exactly like our own family, we can't be distinguished at all, so it is!
The trendy man was actually surprised, "No, this thing is still circulating?" I thought it was long gone. Then the situation is complicated now, the living dead in the village don't seem to be a threat now, but if the woman in red harnesses them and starts attacking us, so many living dead are quite terrifying. Plus Shi Xiaonan and the woman in red, and these are not clear if they are replicants in your village or not, fuck, it's a fucking headache to think about! ”
The trendy man turned the soul eater into a replicant, which is quite vivid.
"It's not a matter of time and a half to completely devour someone's soul, we just need to hurry up and get ahead of them." The cold man looks very calm at all times, and he never seems to be in a hurry.
Zhang Qianqian had been listening quietly, and asked curiously: "Those black shadows have no soul and body, and after devouring the soul, they can become the appearance of the people in the village, so don't they have any specific appearance themselves?" ”
There was appreciation in the cold man's eyes, "That's right, these things wander outside the underworld of the human world, and they have always been difficult to control, and the hidden forces in the village can get them to be used by them, which shows how terrifying this force is!" ”
After explaining, the cold man then asked me, "I saw your third uncle just now, did you get any information?" ”
I hurriedly said everything I had just said to my third uncle, and then said, "Let's go back now and get the thing my third uncle said first, since that thing can save the lives of the people in the village, the woman in red may also do it." ”
A few of us discussed it again, planning to get what my third uncle said first, and then divide into two ways, all the way to find out the news of the woman in red and Shi Xiaonan, all the way to the mountain to save the people in the village, and prevent those black shadows from borrowing the bodies of the people in the village.
After making up our minds, we started to descend the mountain.
When I walked down the mountain, I always had some worries, the black shadow on the mountain wanted to borrow the bodies of the people in the village, not to mention, and from time to time I had to kill some people, who knows if my third uncle would survive.
Also, the thing that the cold man said about replicants, the people I saw when I came back during the day, are all replicants?
Everyone else is easy to say, but my mother and Zhang Guangtao died while I watched them, how did they copy it, and the cold man didn't elaborate on this.
The trendy man knew what was on my mind, and patted me on the shoulder as he walked, "I don't think you have to worry about your third uncle." You think, so many people have been tricked, but your third uncle is extremely sober, which means that he is an old fox, and it is not easy to hold him, An! ”
I knew he was comforting me, smiled at him gratefully, didn't say anything more, shook his spirits, and walked briskly towards the village below.
Because we had a goal, we were very fast when we went down the mountain, and it took us almost 20 minutes to reach the west entrance of the village.
When he walked to the west entrance of the village, the cold man suddenly paused, listened attentively, and said in a low voice, "Something is not quite right in the village, let's be careful." ”
He has always been cautious and cautious in doing things, as soon as he said this, the three of us immediately tensed our nerves and put our steps to the lightest, Zhang Qianqian grabbed my hand even more nervously, the palm of my hand was cold, obviously nervous to the extreme.
At first, I didn't understand what he meant by saying that something was wrong in the village, but once I entered the village, I suddenly realized that the village was too quiet!
It stands to reason that even if there are no living people in the village now, there are still those living dead, and there should be a sound like this, but now the village is quiet, and there is no sound at all.
This kind of quietness makes people feel extremely oppressive.
The four of us crept into the village and glanced around, the whole village was empty, there was no one in it, only the houses stood in the darkness, like huge monsters!
And, the further I walked into the village, the more I had the illusion that the whole village was like a web that had been woven a long time ago, and we were throwing ourselves into it!
